Orengo, the Senate Minority Leader, says Odinga is the 'surprise' presidential candidate Kenyatta talked about a few weeks ago.

“At the end of the day, we’re saying that the leadership of Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila Amolo Odinga is going to produce the next President of the Republic of Kenya,” says Orengo.

“I’m glad when President Uhuru Kenyatta was saying he’s going to surprise people in Jubilee as to who is going to be the next President of the Republic of Kenya, he was saying that knowing that (William) Ruto is the Deputy President… and that surprise, according to us, practically and for all reasons, is Raila Amolo Odinga.”

Speaking in Nyeri last month, Kenyatta said he will have a say in 2022 and his candidate of choice will shock many.

Kenyatta said: “They think because Uhuru is going home in 2022, he will not have a word on what will happen. I am telling them when the right time comes, I will have something to say. Some think I have kept quiet because I am not capable of talking politics. I am still a politician. They will be shocked when that time comes, but for now I want to concentrate on delivering my pledges to Kenyans.”

Orengo further says that a referendum will be held before 2022 to address the few grey areas in the current law. “We are going to have a referendum which I think will address the 20% of the Constitution that we had agreed in 2010 that there were areas that needed attention,” Orengo said.

Kenya is a politically cursed nation but we have every opportunity to cleanse and redeem ourselves. VOTE CARRER POLITICIANS OUT! Wouldn’t it be moral to get a chance to vote for someone who has done something meaningful to Kenyans besides running for re-election? Same politicians = Same problems (corruption). We can do it.

That will be setting the country back wards.Why should we keep on recycling the same old politicians with out dates ideas.
Ihope by the time 2022 arrives there will be some new and progressive names in the hat.

Orengo remains a stupid uneducated thug the time he started following muanji rao.I remember growing up around 90's many of us wanted to be like orengo but no more coz he acts useless.Mr orengo kikuyus havent forgotten the many problems raila have caused them n they will neva make raila muanji the king/president.N to remind u our Gikuyu culture cannot b lead by uncircumcised person.Call it nonsense but that's the true.Nilizima uweumekatwa.
Never Never

Let us remember even Uhuru has only one vote. He is free to vote for Raila and others are free to vote for candidates of their choice. Come 2022, we hope to have no Dynasties in power. God give Kenya leaders not politicians. God help Kenya!!!

YEEEEESSSS! NO OLD DOG CANNOT TEACH THEM NEW TRICKS ! WE MUST FREE OURSELVES FROM SLAVERY! 2012 WE NEED FRESH BLOOD . IF WE CAN VOTE FOR OUR FUTURE AND NOT SELL OUR VOTES FOR SHILLING MBILI WE CAN . YES WE CAN

At Independence in 1963, we started with Kenyatta as President and Odinga as vice president. Today,55 years later,Kenyatta and Odinga (the sons) are effectively calling the shots in the country. It's as if we're stuck in time. Meanwhile, our country is going down the drain: Kenya is ranked the 8th poorest country in the world,(ref: Business Insider June 2018) about 47 percent of our population are stagnated below the poverty line, there is water shortage,no adequate national healthcare, health care centers lack drugs and children die of curable diseases and no educational access for all. Corruption reigns Supreme. We can't afford to recycle the same old tired clowns. Uhuru must leave Kenyans free to decide for themselves. As for referendum, Kenyans should point out the sections of the Constitution that needs to be amended or even removed- people should exercise their democracy and sovereign power.

I wish Kenyans would demand true reforms. Shove out these self righteous and imposed leaders and in with the new. That's why we are stuck in a rut, the same old families, long in the tooth with their sense of entitlement and looking down their noses to ordinary folks like us, then have the audacity to demand a pay rise! The cheek of it all!! We need to boot them out and vote the likes of Sakaja, Miguna Miguna, etc...they are current and yes, Miguna is controversial, lakini we need such energy to bring accountability. Period.

Orengo has a short memory. In 2017, Raila publicly stated that he will not be a presidential candidate in 2022. For any one to claim to support Raila, Raila himself must first rescind his 2017 statement.

@Imara I hope you are not serious, as usual, when you say Kenyans living abroad would make better leaders. Have you read the last two articles under Mwakilishi/Diaspora News? Sijui leo umekunywa pombe gani ndugu. Ni kalubu au ni nini?

People do not run for office for themselves only, they run for their lot and so, many of them are in a way true when they say " my people asked me to run" or " I will go back to the people before I decide" The only problem is that we the pedestrians think that we are the "people". No, they mean their families, friends, Business interests, empires, accomplices, sycophants, and the people like them who have equally, and historically wrong the society. A folks song I heard the other day went " be reminded that good things have their owners" and so I guess is Uongozi-it is good and has its owners. So emissary Orengo's claims are not far fetched he knows what he is talking about-tupende tusipende!

@ njai how is the truth i have written becomes matusi.UC that's the biggest hypocritical we have become.What i have written about orengo n raila can somebody who is sincere tells me they r not not done what i have written?The truth hurts @ njai.Let me remind u raila was involved in 1982 coupe which hundreds died on behalf of him starting the bulkshit??Come 07/08 pple were burned in churches for belonging to one tribe kikuyus by hard die no raila no peace n thousands lost homes n displaced some disabled by this raila idiot???2017 when the idiot lost elections 2 times no raila no peace hundreds lost their loved ones n orengo has bin his soldier all along??So @ njai please u need to apologise for defending yr raila grandfather??He belongs to kamiti period.
